Our new Henry Kissinger. Her legacy will be Iraq, and Henry's was Vietnam. She will have to be careful where she travels once she is out of office, or she could be arrested for international war crimes, just like Kissinger. I find her to be a poor student of history. Her positions are not new, are copies of old strategic positions. Its as though she tells the brain dead republicans like Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney what they want to hear, rather than anything new. I have known academicians like her: they repeat stuff we have all heard, but they package it as new, and they have a presence, a personality, that seems to pretend that this is new , original thoughts. All attitude and appearance, not substance. She doesnt understand Iraq, repeats the same old tired crap about Israel (praises the murderer Sharon, tells palestinian leaders they need to be responsible blah blah) - nothing new. the Iraq invasion was her idea, and its was just what rumsfeld and cheney wanted to hear. They need an "academician" to give legitimacy to their plans for empire. She gives political science a bad name. And she compared recently the civil rights movement in the south with the movement of freedom in Iraq - What? And the press doesnt call her on it - they just report it like they are brain dead! Cant they ask her about the comparison?
